Chapter 363: A Punch Blasts the Deity
No sooner had this thought surfaced in his mind than the God of Judgment, Donnash, snuffed it out. He admitted that Black Dragon Lance was strong, but definitely not strong enough to injure the War God, let alone breaking the War God's divine armor.
He had once exchanged blows with Black Dragon Lance as the Heroic Spirit God-King, and now, as the God of Judgment, he was fighting Lance again. He had a rough estimate of Lance's strength.
In his heart, the level of strength that Lance was currently displaying was indeed far superior to that of the common Pureblood Dragons of Dragon Island, and even against a Holy Giant Dragon, he should have the power to fight. However, whether he could defeat a Giant Dragon of the Dragon King's caliber, he couldn't figure out yet.
The fact that he couldn't manifest his true body in the Human World kept him from making an accurate judgment of Black Dragon Lance's strength.
His current state wasn't weak, and the fact that Lance was able to fight him to a standstill, even temporarily pressing him, meant that Lance's strength had reached the point where he could contend with Holy Giant Dragons.
Thinking of using this level of strength to defeat the War God was simply impossible.
Not to mention defeating the War God; even breaking that set of divine armor on the War God's body was out of the question.
The reason he had dared to trick the War God and rebel against the Radiant Divine Court using the War God's own proclamation when he wasn't yet a deity was that he didn't think he would have any intersection with the War God, the Light God King, or other deities.
If he played a trick, he played a trick—he didn't believe the War God would slap him to death over it.
At that time, he hadn't thought that he would one day become a deity.
After becoming a deity, and after coming in contact with the War God and the Light God King, he realized how terrifyingly strong deities of that caliber were.
Not to speak of the War God, even the Valkyries were frighteningly strong.
As the God of Judgment, he was naturally not weak either.
He was confident that if his true body descended in the Human World, he could suppress Lance with ease.
If he, in his true form, could suppress the Black Dragon, if the War God himself had actually descended into the Human World, seen Black Dragon Lance, and fought with him, then beating Black Dragon would really be as simple as beating a child.
However, this pure black thunder he had indeed seen before on the War God's body.
This puzzled him.
The lethality of this pure black thunder was a bit stronger than the thunderous punishment he had executed just a moment ago.
While thinking of the War God, Donnash was also passively defending against Lance's attacks. This guy's martial prowess was absurdly strong; just with brute force, he could scatter the divinity that enveloped Donnash's divine body, and it actually hurt him.
"Fighting me, and you still dare to be distracted? Aren't you afraid I'll scatter your deity existence?"
[You want to commit deicide?]
"I have no such intention; I simply want to try if I can turn you into nothing. Since your true body can't descend here, I think I can blow you up with one punch in this state."
[Come on then, I'll give you a chance to blow me up with one punch. Attack me with all your might, let me feel your ferocity.]
"Good."
Suspended in the void with fluttering wings, Lance adjusted his fighting stance. He retracted his Dragon Wings, and a Law Array that blotted out the sky appeared beneath his feet. Stance on the Array, he took a step back with his right foot, and began to charge up his Dragon Fist.
Standing opposite Lance, Donnash's eyes twitched slightly. This guy was for real? He was gathering the Vital Energy and Blood Power of his entire body. The Dragon Fist had only just begun to charge, and the Vital Energy and Blood within him were already roaring like a dragon cry or a mighty river...
He didn't dare to imagine how ferocious this punch would be...
Wait...
Bloody hell... Why was this guy's fist still crazily drawing in some energy from the void?
There was even a vortex forming...
No, no, no... It wasn't drawing in; he was summoning the forces of heaven and earth?!
Donnash was truly startled this time. Without having condensed his Divinity or ignited his Divine Fire, he could mobilize the forces of heaven and earth?
That was an ability only deities were supposed to wield.
In his current state, if he really took this punch, Black Dragon Lance might truly be able to blow him into mist.
Originally, he just wanted to test whether Lance was qualified to fight the War God...
Now the test was conclusive. Lance was not qualified to battle the War God, but Lance's punch might indeed blow him up in his current state.
The void roared again. This time it was because the power accumulated in Lance's fist had reached a critical point, and the void could hardly bear it.
The void began to twist, and Donnash felt a heavy sensation from Lance's Dragon Fist.
It was finished; without his true body descending into the Human World, he couldn't take Black Dragon's punch in his current state.
He hurriedly shot a few glances at the Judgment Scales, signaling it to turn into a shield to block Black Dragon's Dragon Fist for him.
The Judgment Scales shook wildly; it understood what Donnash meant, but it also felt the terror of Black Dragon's punch, and it didn't want to use its own body to block that punch for Donnash.
Although Black Dragon's punch couldn't kill it, being hit by such a heavy punch would still hurt it, right?
What if Black Dragon's punch damaged it and affected its judgment function?
Shameless Donnash, always trying to use it as a shield—its two bronze plates were not meant to be shields.
They were meant to measure the "good" and "evil" of this world.
[Sophia, quickly, come block this punch for me.]
"..."
Crack—
The inviolability of the deity's holiness shattered like glass in Sophia's heart...
How could the God of Judgment say such a thing to her with peace of mind?
To make her, the Saintess, block Black Dragon's punch...
She was a bit afraid, too...
Black Dragon's punch, she also saw, not to mention summoned the forces of heaven and earth, but had also imbued who knows how many times the gravity upon the Dragon Fist...
